  From memory. Opened wo decanting. Initially, really tart acids and minerals. Almost austere but with the auslese weight. Over the next 3 hours, tart apple and citrus fruit emerge to balance all the acid. Still with really nice mineral flavor with a bit of bitterness. Great texture. Should have decanted this but still really nice by the end.

  Strong petrol nose with background grapefruit rind and paraffin. Heavy acid on the palate. Citrus, chalk, dried mango with a hint of sweetness. Partially consumed after minimal decant and then finished a day later after additional time in covered decanter. Petrol significantly burns off leaving more of the acidic citrus rind on the nose. Palate suffers after that much air time.

  Opened for almost 2 hrs. Took about 1-1.5 hrs to open up and not in the best glasses. Very pale gold yellow. A - if rocks could smell, this would be it. Rocks with bitter herbs, some petrol, and way in the back are some fruit. P - Tart citrus, grapefruit pith, minerals, so many rocks, zingy acidity. Good weight that rides the highwire tension of weight and electric liveliness. Deep but yet so alive. Finishes with fruit, rocks (but with a good bitter twist). So good. But still feels like there is more underneath. Damn - this is my one and only bottle! So good.

  Chilled for about 1 hour prior to serving. Pours a pale waxy yellow. On the nose it's full of limes and grapefruit, overlain by petrol, and supporting aromas of wet rock and apricot. I love the aromatics. The palate though, is truly marvelous. Excellent depth and concentration, excellent acidity. Citrus and stone fruits at first, overlain again by petrol, but finishing with this briney, saline-like minerality that made my mouth water. I loved the cut of the acidity across the ripe fruit, it really cleaned up the mid palate and kept me enjoying the food. Very much a "food wine", this seems to be at peak but will last for another couple of decades.

  Lime, apricot, and something plasticky on the palate, with moderate acidity and a hint of sweetness, in spite of the Trocken designation.
